Unicode Version 17.0
𖥌
U+1694C "𖥌" Bamum Letter Phase-D Toq is a glyph from the Bamum script, an indigenous writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language of Cameroon. This specific letter represents the syllable "toq" and belongs to Phase D, one of the later stages of the script's evolution under the direction of King Ibrahim Njoya, which simplified the earlier pictographic forms into a more streamlined syllabary. The character is part of a historic effort to preserve and modernize the Bamum language, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard to support digital representation and text processing for this cultural heritage.
